Chp 4-5 and SETDA

I think its vital to establish roles and responsibilities for the proper implementation and upkeep of technology. I went to the "setda" web site to look at their toolkit. The goal of this tool is to provide strategies and resources to "promote educational technology and it’s effectiveness for increasing student engagement."

SETDA believes that all people associated with technology have the opportunity to participate in 21st century society. Unfortunately, many users are not aware of the many uses of technology that can increase student learning and engagement. http://www.setda.org/web/guest/toolkits
